Dockery Park

3 ReviewsAdd Review

RV campers seeking free overnight stays with hookups will find two sites at Dockery Park, a small municipal park on the edge of Gallatin. Both electric and water hookup sites overlook a pond and sit under mature oak trees for natural shade. The sites lack privacy from the adjacent baseball field and park visitors, with one reviewer noting curious onlookers during tent setup.

The park provides basic amenities including restrooms, picnic tables, and trash service, with stores and gas stations located about a mile away in town. A local duck serves as the park's permanent resident, and visitors often receive friendly visits from Gallatin residents. While the city considers camping fees a donation, the park district suggests a $35 nightly rate.

Visitors often highlighted the free electric/water hookups and scenic pond setting. Many mentioned the convenient location near Gallatin with stores nearby, though some noted limited privacy from park users.

Almost free camping

Stayed here for several days. Wonderful facility on the edge of Gallatin. Stores and gas just a mile away. A duck was the only full time resident of the park. We got several visits from the local residents. They were delightful. We were informed that the park and rec district has a recommended fee of $35/night. However, the city says it's a donation. So if you stay there and don't make a donation, that is between you and your conscience.

Sitethe one with power.

road trip camping

There are two RV spots with free electrical and water. We camped wIth a tent in the one closest to the tree.... both overlook a cute pond. They aren’t sheltered or hidden from the rest of the park though which was kinda weird when the kids from the baseball field nearby were staring at us putting up the tent.
